Glory Bound

Do Nick and the Cannons have what it takes to beat the best schools in the country? After winning the State Cup, Nick Young and his team are off to Western Australia to compete in the National Junior Schoolboys Championship. Almost immediately, Nick gains a new rival in the tough-talking Jayden. But Nick's also got other things on his mind—he's been offered the opportunity to trial with the Arsenal Youth Academy. This could be the chance of a lifetime, but it will mean leaving behind his friends at the NSF and moving to England to live with his football legend dad. When his teammates find out, they're not impressed . . . especially Nick's best mate Bazzo. Can Nick rally the Cannons and lead them to glory or will he decide to say goodbye to Football High forever?
